A Letter from NCGA

America’s corn farmers demonstrated their ability to sustainably produce an abundant crop

in 2016. This record-setting crop offers infinite possibilities for feeding and fueling a growing

world. From renewable fuels to high-quality feed to food ingredients, corn improves our lives

today and offers a future limited only by our imaginations. As the World of Corn continues to

grow, we invite you to take a moment to learn more about how amazing maize can truly be.

Corn starch is preferred in many commercial food applications due to its translucent nature versus flour which is opaque.

Corn starch can be used to create polylactic acid polymers. These

can be processed into sustainable versions of fibers and plastics.

Corn syrup is used as a sweetener, thickening agent and as a humectant, a water-absorbing ingredient helping

food retain freshness.

Only the starch is used to make ethanol. The remaining nutrients, protein, fiber and oil, known as Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles are used as feed.

*In dry-grind ethanol process.**In wet-mill ethanol process.Gluten feed is 20 percent protein and gluten meal is 60 percent protein.
